As a Tree feels its Bark

I waited for some sign,

you sent me one yesterday,

which didn’t seem to be true

but I accepted it anyway.

 

It doesn’t make sense to me

whatever you wrote and said.

You are the queen of your heart

but you use your mind instead.

 

Changing narrative over a time,

was a clear giveaway.

Those who want to leave,

nothing can stop them go away.

 

I would like to let you go

despite the ache in my heart.

It seemed to be in rough waters,

from the very start.

 

Letting go is also painful,

that's what I slowly realise.

You’ve crushed a dream dear,

that's what I summerise.

 

I will tell you the truth,

won't keep you in the dark,

I feel you around me

as a tree feels its bark.
